Indian Shares Open Lower On Middle East Tensions

Indian shares opened lower on Tuesday, extending losses from the previous session after U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a wave of new sanctions to isolate the Iranian regime and warned that countries and companies that help Iran move or hide money could face U.S. actions and potentially lose access to the U.S. dollar system.

Investors also awaited Nvidia earnings, a key U.S. inflation reading and Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh’s debut speech at the annual Jackson Hold conference this week for directional cues.
